Also, Milan should have 100% wanted the ball in his hands to at least try to get fouled when he saw his teammates struggling at the line. He needs to develop into a leader. I’m not 100% down on him, but he’s got plenty of growth/development to do. I agree that he needs one more year.

CF when the 3 point shooter that has grabbed the least rebounds of anyone that played significant minutes this season doesn't grab 20 rebounds in the tournament:
This is a ludicrous take.
Especially when you get to the 2nd weekend and the teams are better equipped to handle the pressure
Well that sucked. I had a feeling Tennessee's height and rebounding was going to be a problem but I didn't think we'd get out rebounded by THAT much. Tennessee had so many second chance points it was insane.
And all of us here and everywhere else on social media called it....our season would end because of ft's. Definitely not the entire reason but it was a large factor in not keeping us in the game, especially when shot making was so hard to come by.
Sucks to have the "what if" scenario again...feels exactly like 2014 with Georges breaking his foot.
Last thing I'll say is thank you Tamin Lipsey for being a Cyclone. He is the definition of a hometown hero.

I disagree. I think he would have played if he could. At some point a healthy but less talented guy like Heise is better than a really talented guy like JJ who has a serious mobility and jumping limitation. Plus, he's already hurt. It's not right to ask him to to take a chance on making a bad injury considerably worse.
Heise more than tripled his season average. But it was offset by many other bad things.
I wonder what changed since the Arizona game? **** you guys are stupid.
Disagree. Against equally or more talented teams, if we couldn’t turn the over, we really struggled on offense.
Actually the floor maybe the Sweet 16. Without injuries last year they may have gotten there 4 out of the last 5 years. 3 out of 5 isn’t bad in my book
Give Tennessee credit. They executed a great game plan
I like your “We blinked” explanation a little better.
I mean sure we had another one of those scoring droughts against Illinois in the Sweet 16 but at least you didn’t say that time it was because they had superior athletes.Maybe our NIL should pay you a million freaking dollars to stop ragging on a hurt player. I'll contribute.
Great season Cyclones. Great fans for sure. You'll be contenders for sure next year.
I thought we ran some great offense against Arizona in the big 12 championship. did some different things to get Jefferson the ball in the post. I think one big challenge is we don’t always seem to have a go to play in the half court that gets us comfortable. But maybe I’m just thinking of these games without Jefferson.
We need the play that works for when we don’t have the physical advantage on the other team.
I do wonder hiw soon tj starts hearing "hes good but can he win the s16" question
We just need to get deeper. It's the beer talking, but I'm ready to de- fund the football program if it could guarantee get us over the hump in men's basketball
Did you watch that OSU game and think ISU was more athletic? Do you know why ISU's shots got pasted down low the backboard a few times?
Illinois two years ago had length and good offense and threw on a defense for a game.
Do you only come around after this type of loss?
Everything that goes wrong in an Iowa State loss happened tonight. Bad free throws, players disappearing, and losing the rebounding battle. Tennessee wanted it more.
